Day 100 is when the CIA director calls a meeting with George, Dan, Maya, the wolf, and consulted named Jeremy, and they try and determine how accurate their information is. Dan says there’s a 60 % chance Bin Laden can be in the house and he's not sure if its even Bin Laden who's inside the house.Maya says she’s 100% which impresses Jeremy and the director. As Maya eats lunch in the cafeteria the CIA director approaches and ask her how long she's been working for the CIA and she tells him that she has been working for them for twelve years. The reason why the part was really interesting to me was because Maya was the only one who was 100% sure that bin Laden was inside that house and all her colleagues who are males had doubts, and I believe they had doubts because of her gender status. My second most interesting part of the movie was “May 1, 2011. Operating base in Afghanistan” . Thats when Maya received a call from George who told her that its happening tonight, the capture of Osama bin Laden. The excitement on Maya;s face was priceless in the movie. After all the hard years of dedication and working they finally capture bin Laden. The Navy SEALs are able to kill Osama Bin Laden in the scene and and Maya receives confirmation that the plan worked. Then SEALs grab what they can and left the scene with the body. Then Maya confirms the body. This is one of my favorite parts of the movies because the whole movie was about capturing bin Laden and the way they set it up was really interesting because it felt like it was the real life capture of Osama. Even though the scene was really dark it made it more interesting to the audience. It also gave the audience a real understatement and idea of how bin Laden was capture by the Navy SEALs.
